FROM AMIENS TO ARMISTICE 22 | Reflections - An Australian Perspective

A series of podcasts commissioned by UCL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION'S FIRST WORLD WAR CENTENARY EDUCATION PROGRAMME to mark the CENTENARY of the BATTLE OF AMIENS on 8 August 1918. In August 2018, students from across the United Kingdom joined students from France, the United States, Canada and Australia on the Western Front to commemorate the Battle of Amiens. This podcast series, recorded mostly during that battlefield tour, tell the story of the Battle of Amiens in the wider context of the First World War and the road to armistice. In the final podcast of the series, we hear reflections from the group representing Australia on the tour. MUSIC | Waltzing Matilda, arranged Jonathan Slatter, Sounds Visual Music.
